I have been working with the VBA
code below and the code worked fine (creating a file with a .csv
extension.
Today, my firm had an Office 365 update and for some reason the same code without edit, creates a file with a .CSV
extension making it unable to be read by certain progams (it needs to be edited with the lowercase extension to be used further).
What do I need to know/alter in my settings to make my code run like prior?
Sub CSV_transfer()
Dim header As Range
Dim rngToSave As Range
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Windows("file.xlsm").Activate
'Add a new sheet to become your csv and paste data
Sheets.Add After:=ActiveSheet
Set header = Sheets("sheet1").Range("AY3:AY6")
header.Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set rngToSave = Sheets("sheet1").Range("AX3:AX450")
rngToSave.Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("A5").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
'Move the sheet into it's own instance
ActiveSheet.Move
'Rename the tab
ActiveSheet.Name = "export"
'Save the WB as a CSV and close
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="*path*\export", _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False, Local:=True
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
ActiveWindow.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

If you specify the file extension, this might solve your problem. Instead of using the default (now .CSV), try changing:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="*path*\export"
to:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="*path*\export.csv"
